How to change paste() to send ctrl+v?

[marqqer]

Hi dear hluk:
sorry to bother you again, I found that CopyQ paste selected item to current active window just by sending Shift+Insert,is that right? how can i change it to send ctrl+v? for many Windows applications don't accept Shift+Insert as pasting.
Thanks and best wishes

There is undocumented feature which allows to send Ctrl+V instead of the default Shift+Insert.

You have to add following to your copyq.ini (in portable folder config\copyq or %APPDATA%\copyq).

[General]
paste_with_ctrl_v_windows="- IntelliJ IDEA"

The string is regular expression matching window titles of the apps where you want use Ctrl+V for pasting.

thanks
can you give a example to match any window?

I think paste_with_ctrl_v_windows=".*" should work.

Thanks a lot , it works, Probably best if we call make it an option can be set.

Has the default behaviour changed? It seems to me that now it sends Ctrl+v by default.
And I've noticed another probably related option window_paste_with_ctrl_v_regex= under Options section.

The app should still send Shift+Insert by default.

And I've noticed another probably related option window_paste_with_ctrl_v_regex= under Options section.

Yes, the option is now under [Options] group in the config file and can be modified with:

copyq config window_paste_with_ctrl_v_regex 'SOME REGEXP'

Thank you. Just realized the reason CopyQ didn't work with my Win+Emacs is I ran emacs as admin.
